History

2008–2011: The Wildes and Ballad of a Young Married Man

Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes grew up in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, before moving into the inner-city music scene. [2]

They recorded and released their debut record with producer Jonathan Burnside in 2009. [2] [3] Tim Ritchie from Australian Broadcasting Corporation called it one of his favourite albums of 2009. [4]

In late 2009 The Wildes composed and recorded music for Sean Genders' short film Edge of Reality, produced by Mat Hearne (Wolf Creek) and starring Australian screen icon John Jarratt.[ citation needed ]

After two years of solid touring, The Wildes began work on a follow-up album titled Sweet Bird of Youth. The recordings were made in Adelaide with Burnside again at the helm. The band were unhappy with their performance in the studio and abandoned the record in early 2011 and the group disbanded.[ citation needed ]

2012: Lachlan Bryan solo Shadow of the Gun

Lachlan Bryan signed a solo deal with new label Core Music and released the album Shadow of the Gun in January 2012. Bill Chambers said "While Lachlan Bryan's music is fresh and original, it reminds me of my favourite singer songwriters. He's the real deal." and Catherine Britt said "Unquestionably one of the most talented and exciting up and coming singer songwriters." [5] Members of The Wildes continued to tour with Bryan to support this album.[ citation needed ]

2013–2019: Black Coffee

In 2013, the group, reformed under the name Lachlan Bryan & the Wildes. They completed Black Coffee with producer Rod McCormack at The Music Cellar on the NSW central coast in June of that year, releasing the album in September 2013. The title track is a tribute to Bryan's grandfather who taught him to take his coffee "sweet as sin, hot as hell, and black as pitch." [6] Black Coffee debuted at number 12 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart and reached number 4 on the ARIA Country Album chart.

At the 2014 Country Music Awards of Australia, Black Coffee was won the Golden Guitar for Alternative Country Album of the Year. [7] Later in 2014, Black Coffee won the Music Victoria Awards for Best Country Album. [7]

In September 2015, the group released The Mountain. Australian Broadcasting Corporation said it's "Another great album of unusual songs and well crafted arrangements." [7]

In February 2018, the group released Some Girls (Quite) Like Country Music, with Lachlan saying "We wanted to make an adult-sounding country record." [8]

2020–present: Social Family Records

In August 2020, the group announced they had signed with Social Family Records. [9]

In April 2021, the group released Nearest Misses Live, an album recorded in 2019. Lachlan Bryan said "These recordings really caught us in our best form and I don't think we really appreciated that at the time. It's a set of audience favourites and we played them really well - we couldn't be prouder of how they've come up". [10] The album debuted at number 38 on the ARIA Chart.

In September 2021, Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes album, As Long as It's Not Us debuted at number 30 on the ARIA Albums Chart. [1]
